Enjoy this relentless record presented as an anthology of horror, gore, and slamming Brutal Death Metal by an amazing American band that describes their sound as “Inhuman Slam Grind”.

A relentless record presented as an anthology of all that the band represents, horror, gore, and slamming Brutal Death Metal, incorporating a full arsenal of Death Metal and Deathslam to further define their self-described sound of “Inhuman Slam Grind”, Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance, the sophomore opus by Phoenix, Arizona-based horde Necrambulant, has something to offer on many levels of thematic brutality, including zombies, serial killers, cannibals, sci-fi, and Warhammer. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Xander Bridge, produced by the band itself, and displaying a venomous cover art by Nev of Gruesome Graphx, the new album by vocalist Andy “Bonemeat” York, guitarist Ron Clark, bassist Trent Pittard and drummer Matt Riena is perfect for fans of Devourment, Kraanium, Cephalotripsy, Cannibal Corpse, and Abominable Putridity, bringing an overdose of heaviness and gore to admirers of the heaviest side of extreme music.

A horrid, desperate scream ignites the band’s overdose of brutality in Amalgamation of Gresome Curdling Ambonination, led by the inhumane gnarling by Andy in the best “BREEEEEE!” style possible, whereas the slashing guitar lines by Ron walk hand in hand with the primeval beats by Matt in Inhumane Creophagus Repulsion, a vile blast of Brutal Death Metal violence. The beautifully titled Catastrophic Inversion of Stellar Harmony Collapsing the Web of all Universal Matter into the Colossal Gaping Maw of the Widening Void that Heralds the Dawn of Absolute Unreality (Epoch.0) is highly recommended for some demented slamming into the pit, with Andy sounding even more putrid and demonic on vocals, flowing into the also demented Barbarian Brute Force Annihilation (BFTBG), where Matt hammers his drums nonstop. Their Brutal Death Metal attack goes on in the heavy-as-hell Sentenced to a Guttonous Pit, spearheaded by the trademark BREEEEEE! vociferations by Andy; and they show no mercy for our putrid, decaying bodies in Pestilential Ascendancy, offering more of their first-class, infernal riffs and blast beats.

Ineffable Tormenting Possession brings forward two and a half minutes of undisputed malignancy in the form of heavy-as-hell extreme music led by the crushing drums by Matt, followed by the also deranged Chunked Pus Chowder, carrying a sick name for an overdose of deep guttural roars, venomous riffs and classic, deadly drums, with Andy once again barking and vomiting the song’s lyrics in great fashion. The title-track Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance will burst our ears with more of the band’s undisputed Brutal Death Metal sounds, whereas Coffin Meat offers the same level of savagery, albeit not as inspired (Andy’s depraved guttural is still there, of course). And last but not least, the dirty riffs by Ron and the metallic bass by Trent will pierce your damned soul in Self-Biologic Carnivorous Cannibalism, ending the album on a beyond visceral note.

“This new album is just a relentless barrage of slamming brutal death metal. We strived for a no-bullshit / no-filler tracklist that will just pummel the listener with heaviness. We spent the past two years working on fine-tuning these songs to be a proper representation of our original moniker of ‘Inhuman Slam Grind’. We hope this new album is something that fans of our earlier material will appreciate and something fresh for the newer fans as well. Expect a full audial assault of horror, gore, and guttural slamming sickness the Necrambulant way,” says the band, and you can join them inside their demented mosh pit by following them on Facebook and on Instagram, by streaming their music on any streaming platforms like Spotify, and above all that, by purchasing the bludgeoning Upheaval of Malignant Necrambulance from the Gore House Productions’ BandCamp or by clicking HERE, or you can also click HERE for all things Necrambulant. This is “Inhuman Slam Grind” at its finest, bringing horror, violence, blood and gore to your miserable life, and may this amazing slamming band from Phoenix continue to blast our ears with the brutality found in their unrelenting new album for many decades to come.

Album Review – Putrid Defecation / Tales from the Toilet (2025)

Posted on by

The debut album by these Finnish Brutal Death Metal newcomers delivers seven tracks that embody the unapologetically brutal themes and aggressive soundscapes characteristic of the toilet slam genre.

Originally envisioned as a one-man project in 2019, Espoo, Finland’s own Brutal Death Metal/Deathslam newcomers Putrid Defecation are set to unleash upon humanity their debut opus, titled Tales from the Toilet, showcasing the band’s raw intensity, moving beyond the programmed drums of earlier works to feature a complete recording lineup. Mixed by Atte Karm, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and with a perverse, gory artwork by Lucker Riquelme, the album delivers seven tracks that embody the unapologetically brutal themes and aggressive soundscapes characteristic of the toilet slam genre, all carefully crafted by vocalist Joona Pätsikkä (who unfortunately left the band in November 2024), guitarists Peter Halin and Petteri Sillanpää, bassist Johnny Grinds and drummer Alpo Laitinen, being therefore recommended for fans of Cumbeast, Torsofuck, Cerebral Incubation, and Monumental Discharge.

Introduction to Constipation is a brutal slab of Death Metal overflowing gore and madness from Joona’s deep gutturals, whereas the guitars by Peter and Petteri will inspire you for some sick slamming in Airborne Backdoor Evacuation, supported by the ruthless drums by Alpo, followed by Whirlwind of Excrement, another three minute onrush of putrid sounds led by the gruesome gnarls by Joona. Then a weird intro evolves into more of their trademark Brutal Death Metal in Unremitting Hematochezia, with the sound of their guitars exhaling violence yet feeling very melodious.

Not only the title-track Tales from the Toilet is the longest of all songs, but it’s also the most dynamic, with the pounding drums by Alpo inspiring us all to slam like true bastards, followed by Impending Anal Leakage, a one minute demented assault with the guest vocals by Jori Kemppi of Discreant and Aleksi Kiianlehto of What Awaits Us being absolutely demented; and of course the album ends with more brutality and gore in Erfurt Latrine Disaster, with Johnny blasting his bass manically while Joona keeps vomiting the song’s depraved words.

As gory and putrid as it is technical and vibrant, Tales from the Toilet is definitely an album not recommended for the lighthearted, bringing to our ears an overdose of violence crafted with endless fury and blood by those talented Finnish rockers. If you want to get your hands dirty with the music by Putrid Defecation, you can stream their wicked creations on YouTube and on Spotify, and of course purchase their new album from BandCamp or by clicking HERE. Don’t forget to also give them a shout on Facebook and on Instagram, but you better be warned that once you’re caught in a mosh of toilet slam, your soul will become so grimy and smelly you will never be able to leave their cesspool of filth.

Album Review – Gore Force V / At Full Force (2024)

Get ready for an overdose of visceral Death Metal, acid humor, violence, and of course, pigs, in the new album by this unrelenting Belgian brigade.

Formed in the already distant year of 2007 in Zwijndrecht, both a village and a municipality located in the Flemish province of Antwerp, in Belgium, the Death Metal squad known as Gore Force V (or Gore Force 5) is back in action after three EPs, those being Happy as Pigs in Shit (2011), It Came from Behind (2012) and Metally Challenged (2017), with their first full length opus, titled At Full Force. Recorded by Sennen, Joshua K and Sasha B at Soundhound Studio, mixed by Sennen, and mastered by Sven Janssens, the new album by the aforementioned Sennen on vocals, Wesley Heyndrickx and Buysse Jeroen on the guitars, Dominique Michiels on bass and Jan de Maeyer on drums is a ruthless feast of violence, heaviness and (why not?) comedy, with the album’s artwork showing that once you hit play, get ready for some laughs while you’re brutally assaulted inside the circle pit by some nasty pigs.

Molokai Deathslam 2.0 : The Re-Slammening carries a wicked name for an even wilder sound, with Wesley and Buysse extracting sheer heaviness from their riffs, sounding absolutely brutal from start to finish; and the story progresses in Superior Mating Rituals, quickly exploding into a boisterous fusion of Death Metal and Deathslam, with Sennen barking manically until the end. The names of their songs are a thing of beauty, and in the case of Rudolph The Red Nosed Rapist the music is also pulverizing, as heavy as it can be spearheaded by the pounding drums by Jan. Jean Baptiste : De indoctrineer beer sounds a bit weird compared to the other songs, but it’s still a good option for slamming into the pit; then back to a more in-your-face, venomous sound and approach we have The Doryhole, with the infuriated beats by Jan matching perfectly with the guttural by Sennen. Their second to last explosion of demented Death Metal is offered to us all in Panda Porking Power Ranger, with the band’s stringed triumvirate formed of Wesley, Buysse and Dominique hammering their axes mercilessly; and last but not least, let’s all dive into the circle pit to Domates Soslu Pit Ninjalar (or “pit ninjas in tomato sauce” from Turkish), the most pulverizing of all songs, with Sennen sounding inhumane on vocals.

The band has  already stated that mid-2025 they will be dropping another EP to finish off the Grinding Nemo trilogy in order to keep everyone’s attention for the next full album, which will drop somewhere 2026. Hence, while we wait for their new material next year and in 2026, you can enjoy At Full Force in its entirety on YouTube and on Spotify, follow the band on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, and of course click HERE to grab a copy of the album and supported those Belgian death metallers. Gore Force V definitely know how to mix good quality Death Metal with a huge dosage of acid humor, some violence, and of course, pigs, and they’re coming at us ruthlessly armed with their new album, inviting us all for some quality slamming at full force.

Album Review – Depraved Murder / Unethical Terrestrial Collapse (2023)

In the fecund swamps of East Java, this venomous Brutal Death Metal entity attacks once again with their bestial third full-length album.

In the fecund swamps of East Java, the ruthless Brutal Death Metal entity Depraved Murder has been pouring blood, tears and black sorcery into their cauldron of nightmares since their inception in 2011, adding bone and bile to the accompaniment of whispered incantations, conjuring up the soundtrack to the end of the world. Mixed and mastered by the arcane master Indra Braille at Texas Sicklab Studio, and displaying a sick artwork spawned from the twisted visions of Aghy Purakusuma, the band’s third full-length opus, entitled Unethical Terrestrial Collapse, is a firestorm to usher in the end times demonically brought into being by vocalist, guitarist and bassist Ogy together with drummer Rama Maulana, seething with a grim and sordid life and a pulsating blackness that exudes fear and disgust, resulting in an intimidating manifesto of brutality tailored for fans of Devourment, Skinless, Suffocation and Pathology.

Otherworldly background sounds will haunt your damned soul before the duo smashes our cranial skulls in Entering into Calamity, where Ogy barks and roars in the name of gore supported by the pulverizing drums by Rama in a demented display of Death Metal, whereas The Anguish of Dystopian is a straightforward, no shenanigans Brutal Death Metal extravaganza by the duo sounding and feeling very intricate and demented form start to finish, with the colossal beats by Rama making the earth tremble. Even heavier and more insane than its predecessors thanks to the inhumane guttural by Ogy, False Adoration will inspire you to slam into the circle pit manically; and the duo shows absolutely no mercy for our bodies and souls in Mass Murder Existence, with Ogy kicking some serious ass with his roars, infernal riffage and rumbling bass lines, elevating the song’s truculence and brutality to the second power.

There’s no time to breathe as those Indonesian marauders keep crushing our heads with their Brutal Death Metal in Unmanifest Void, fulminating and evil from the very first second with Rama showcasing all his fury and dexterity behind his drums, while investing in a more doomed sonority, Ogy and Rama will darken the skies in The Pinnacle of Vile Conceit, again exploding in their traditional Brutal Death Metal sound. Then back to their more vicious mode it’s time to slam into the circle pit to the sound of Relentless Brutality, where Ogy’s deranged roars and riffs are flawlessly complemented by Rama’s stone crushing drums, followed by Unethical Terrestrial Collapse, another three intense minutes of Brutal Death Metal for our avid ears where the bass jabs by Ogy sound more metallic than ever. Lastly, their final breathe of animosity and gore comes in the form of Apocryphal Hymns, with Rama dictating the song’s devilish pace while Ogy gnalrs the song’s words deeply nonstop.

In case you would like to show the guys from Depraved Murder all your support and admiration, you can give them a shout on Facebook and on Instagram, stream all of their gory and evil creations on Spotify, and above all that, purchase a copy of Unethical Terrestrial Collapse from Comatose Music’s BandCamp or webstore, from Apple Music, or from several other retailers out there such as ImportCDs.com and Merchbar.com. As this gruesome, vile album has just been released from its infernal pit, there’s no time left to pray. This is the end, and it’s indeed a blood-soaked one.

Album Review – Imperial Execration / Commanding Satan’s Crusades (2022)

A Colombian Death Metal horde based in the UK is inviting us all to join Satan’s crusades to the sound of their pustulent psalms of inverted sanctity.

At the spearhead of a new assault upon the bulwarks of civilization comes the barbaric Brutal Death Metal/Deathslam horde of Imperial Execration, armed with the rotting horror of their debut album Commanding Satan’s Crusades. Formed in 2019 by two Colombian musicians now relocated to the UK, drummer Ruben Jaramillio (Ataud, Engulfed In Abomination), and guitarist and bassist Eduardo Camargo (Ataud, Goreinhaled, Despondency), this putrid platoon of Satan’s soldiers is completed by the bestial bellows of the infamous Colombian vocalist Oscar “Mr. Oscarnivore T-666” Macias (of Carnivore Diprosopus), together creating six pustulent psalms of inverted sanctity and added to that grim order of service a cover song that exhales death and gore. Mixed and mastered by Tom Bradfield at Grindethic Records, and displaying a sick artwork by Venezuelan artist John Quevedo Janssens, Commanding Satan’s Crusades will leave no doubt about the future, as there is no light at the end of the tunnel, there is no redemption and absolutely no resurrection, being therefore recommended for lovers of the devastating music by Suffocation, Gorgasm, Devangelic and Disentomb, just to name a few.

Summoning of the Ancient Hordes sounds utterly putrid, gory and demolishing from the very first second, and it’s impressive how just three guys can make so much noise. Moreover, Oscar’s deep barks sound and feel inhumane throughout the entire song (and album), accompanied by the classic blast beats by Ruben. Commandments of the Age of Darkness is another onrush of first-class Brutal Death Metal that will decimate your damned soul during its three demented minutes, with Eduardo doing a fantastic job with both his riffs and bass lines, and those three Colombians are ready to pound our cranial skull to dust with the venomous Throne of Sadistic Abominations, a lecture in Brutal Death Metal that lives up to the legacy of the genre with Oscar vomiting the song’s dark words majestically.

In His Ominous Presence the band keeps the insanity and blasphemy of the album at an unimaginable level, with Ruben being absolutely bestial behind his drums in this ode to darkness, and he keeps hammering his drums in Lords of Tyrannical Perversion, with Eduardo’s evil riffage providing Oscar with exactly what he needs to bark nonstop. There’s still more fuel to burn to the sound of Victory of the Stygian Empire, with its cryptic intro evolving into a brutal assault of classic Death Metal led by the gruesome vociferations by Oscar. Put differently, it can’t get any heavier than this, flowing into their cover version for Dehumanizer’s classic tune Condemned (check the original version HERE, from their 1998 demo Prophecies Foretold). Needless to say, Imperial Execration’s version is just as demonic and obscure, with Eduardo kicking some serious ass with both his riffs and bass punches.

The malevolent, hellish Death Metal played by Imperial Excretion in Commanding Satan’s Crusades can be appreciated in all of its glory on YouTube and on Spotify, but of course let’s show those Colombian metallers our true support by purchasing their fulminating album from the band’s own BandCamp page, from the Comatose Music BandCamp page or webstore as a CD or as an amazing CD + shirt + sticker bundle, and from several other locations such as Discogs and Barnes & Noble. They are also eager to hear what you have to say about their newborn vile creations on Facebook and on Instagram, inviting us all to join Satan’s crusades to the sound of their thrilling, sulfurous Death Metal, and I’m sure we’ll have a very good time banging our heads manically with them.

Best moments of the album: Summoning of the Ancient Hordes, Throne of Sadistic Abominations and Victory of the Stygian Empire.

Worst moments of the album: None.

Album Review – Emasculated Vituperation / Rape Trauma Syndrome (2022)

Get ready for an explosion of horror and breathtaking savagery made in Taiwan, drenched in the acidic bile of cruelty and drowning in unreasoning hatred.

Lurking in the diseased bowels of humanity since their inception in 2021 in Taiwan, the visceral, unyielding Brutal Death Metal/Deathslam outfit known as Emasculated Vituperation is ready to demolish our senses with their debut opus, entitled Rape Trauma Syndrome, an explosion of horror and breathtaking savagery, one minute dragging you through a charnel pit of rot and decay, the next subjecting you to a frenzied assault of shocking intensity. Drenched in the acidic bile of cruelty and drowning in unreasoning hatred, this is an album for the most desensitized and warped, those fatally addicted to the poisonous adrenaline rush of the brutal outer limits of slamming Death Metal, carefully brought into being by vocalist Larry Wang, guitarist Yuru Wei, bassist Matt Lee and drummer Murray Chen.

Just like the soundtrack to a horrid, gruesome horror movie, the intro Dismembered Flesh Mutilation will send shivers down your spine before Emasculated Vituperation start their inhumane attack with Live Grinding of the Fetus, a massive, truculent Death Metal feast where Larry roars deeply like a creature from the underworld while Murray hammers his drums in great fashion accompanied by the low-tuned, menacing bass by Matt; followed by the title-track Rape Trauma Syndrome, which starts with another movie-inspired intro before the demented guttural by Larry and the incendiary riffage by Yuru pulverize the minds of the lighthearted. There’s no time to breathe as Yuru continues to slash his axe in Forced Swallowing of Vomit, while Murray sounds possessed behind his drum set in a display of Brutal Slamming Death Metal with no shenanigans.

After a quick disturbing excerpt (and it’s even more disturbing if you’re a guy), the quartet will crush your cranial skull mercilessly in Penis Chainsaw Mutilation, where Larry doesn’t sound human at all throughout the entire song, therefore enhancing its violence considerably, whereas Sulfuric Acid Facial Destruction is beyond infernal and demolishing from the very first second. Not only the level of aggression and chaos blasted by the quartet is gargantuan, but guest vocalist Brandon Smith of Agonal Breathing also adds his personal touch of insanity to this Brutal Death Metal onrush for our total delight. Then featuring Xu Zhaiyu and Dongda of The Dark Prison Massacre, Rectal Prolapsing is absolutely disturbing to say the least thanks to the awesome vociferations blasted by all vocalists, while Matt and Murray keep shaking the foundations of earth with their sick kitchen. Finally, their passion for slasher flicks will haunt your damned souls one final time in Unjustified Mistreatment, inspiring us to bang our heads nonstop to the crushing drums by Murray and the always vile riffs by Yuru.

If you think you have the guts to face the pulverizing, perturbing Death Metal crafted by those four sick Taiwanese metallers in Rape Trauma Syndrome, you can stream the album in its entirety on YouTube, but of course if you’re a loyal servant of the most underground form of Death Metal you should definitely purchase the album from the Brutal Mind’s BandCamp page or webstore, as well as from the Fat Tub Of Lard Records’ Big Cartel. In addition, don’t forget to follow the band on Facebook and on Instagram for news, tour dates and other depraved things, keeping the fires of brutal slamming burning and, consequently, inspiring Emasculated Vituperation to continue paving their path of blood, aggressiveness and insanity armed with their wicked and evil music.

Album Review – Vulnificus / Innomination EP (2021)

Behold the debut effort by an unrelenting American duo attempting to push Death Metal back to its extreme limits.

Formed in the fall of 2021 in the United States by vocalist Eston Browne (Abolishing the Ignominious) and multi-instrumentalist Wilson Sherels (Urotherapy, Epidermolysis), the dynamic Brutal Death Metal duo known as Vulnificus is attempting to push Death Metal back to its extreme limits with their debut demo/EP, entitled Innomination, highly recommended for fans of bands the likes of Cenotaph, Defeated Sanity, Brodequin and Orchidectomy. Recorded, mixed and mastered at Demolition Studios by Wilson with additional recording and mixing of vocals by Eston at BWNTWN STN, and displaying a sick cover art by Pileworm Guttural Art and logo by Force Fed Graphics, Innomination will smash us like an insect with its 12 minutes of sheer brutality, leaving us all absolutely disoriented and eager for their first full-length opus in the near future.

Wilson begins his demented sonic attack in Scraped and Scattered, providing Eston with all he needs to torment our souls with his gruesome vociferations. In other words, it’s the epitome of underground brutality, and I’m sure Wilson’s blast beats will inspire you to slam into the pit like a maniac in the name of Death Metal. The duo shows no mercy for our necks in Induced Rampage, as Wilson continues to hammer his guitar, bass and drums nonstop while Eston roars and growls like a creature from the abyss, resulting in an insane Death Metal extravaganza spiced up by the song’s closing eerie noises crafted by Eston. And their last Deathslam feast comes in the form of the title-track Innomination, another bestial creation by those infernal metallers showcasing their trademark growls and demolishing beats, not to mention how caustic the riffs by Wilson feel, ending the band’s welcome card on a high and putrid note.

After the 12 minutes of savagery blasted by Vulnificus are over, you’ll certainly go back to the start and listen to their undisputed Brutal Death Metal again and again, proving how sick, vile and honest their music is. Hence, let’s show our support to this up-and-coming American bludgeoning duo by following them on Facebook and on Instagram for all things Vulnificus, and by grabbing a copy of their demo from their own BandCamp page or by streaming it as many times as you want on Spotify. As already mentioned, Eston and Wilson are already working on their debut full-length album for sometime in 2022, and until then we can keep practicing our slamming skills to the sound of Innomination because when their full-bodied beast comes to life, it will be hell on earth in the name of Brutal Death Metal.

Best moments of the album: Induced Rampage.

Worst moments of the album: None.

Album Review – Intricated / Apocalyptic Metamorphosis (2021)

From the sin swamped streets of Bangkok to the frenzied furnace of your nightmares, Intricated are coming for you armed with ten tracks of precision putridity and bludgeoning, blasting brutality.

Twisting the very fabric of reality, tearing through the layers of existence and warping everything you know to be true, Bangkok, Thailand’s own Brutal Death Metal unity Intricated has pushed themselves to the limit in their brand new album entitled Apocalyptic Metamorphosis, a worthy follow-up to their 2016 debut effort The Vortex Of Fatal Depravity. Mixed by the band itself, mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, and displaying a sick artwork by Japanese illustrator Toshihiro Egawa, Apocalyptic Metamorphosis brings to our ears ten tracks of precision putridity and bludgeoning, blasting brutality carefully crafted by vocalist Panyawat Sridee, guitarist Jeeraset Paemongkol, bassist Wasumit Wongwai and drummer Pratchaya Phadungthin, resulting in a monstrous opus of chaos unleashed recommended for fans of Suffocation, Cryptopsy and Deeds Of Flesh, among others torchbearers of extreme sonic savagery.

An ominous, sinister intro titled The Sixth Invisible Light of the Unobserved Heterogeneity Dimension opens the gates of hell for Intricated to kill with Ruthless Domination, a pulverizing Deathslam onrush led by the blast beats by Pratchaya and the deep and utterly cadaverous growls by Panyawat while Jeeraset and Wasumit show no mercy for their stringed weapons; whereas Impaling the Emperor is even more infernal than its predecessor, with Pratchaya sounding beyond infuriated on drums. What a solid display of Brutal Death Metal by the band, sounding perfect for slamming into the pit like a demented beast, and there’s a lot more devastation by Intricated with Summoning the Abyzou, where they kick some serious ass with their pulverizing Death Metal spiced up by the razor-edged riffage by Jeeraset. And An Experimentation of Genocide (Unit 731) brings forward two and a half minutes of brutality, gore and violence in the form of extreme music, where it’s impressive how Panyawat’s vocals get deeper and more gruesome as the music progresses.

There’s no time to breathe as the quartet continues to smash our cranial skulls mercilessly in Flagitious Meditation, with Wasumit making the earth tremble with his bass supported by the always demented drums by Pratchaya, making an instant bridge with the also bludgeoning The Manifest of Apocalyptic Variation, highly recommended for breaking your neck headbanging with Jeeraset once again exhaling malignancy from his axe. Enigmatic Portal of Demise is a lecture in Brutal Death Metal by Intricated, showcasing all elements we love in the genre including of course the bestial vociferations by Panyawat and the complex but always infernal beats by Pratchaya; and keeping the album at a high level of animosity it’s time for the instrumental Interdimensional Being…, presenting a solid work done by the quartet (albeit I miss their evil growls). Finally it’s time for Iniquitous Creatures, a hellish, absolutely heavy and devilish creation bringing to our ears six minutes of pure savagery masterfully brought forth by the band, with Panyawat leading his horde with his wicked, deranged gnarls until the song’s Stygian ending.

The apocalyptic world of Death Metal ruled by Intricated can be better appreciated by following the band on Facebook and on Instagram for news and tour dates, and of course by purchasing Apocalyptic Metamorphosis from the Comatose Music BandCamp page or webstore as a regular CD or as a CD + shirt + sticker bundle, as well as from several other online locations including Barnes & Noble, Waterloo Records, Monster Music & Movies, Schoolkids Records, and Record Archive. From the sin swamped streets of Bangkok to the frenzied furnace of your nightmares, Intricated are coming for you armed with their beast of an album, proving Thailand can easily become one of the epicenters of underground Death Metal worldwide.

Album Review – Cutterred Flesh / Sharing is Caring (2021)

Posted on by

Brace yourselves for the new album by this ruthless Czech Death Metal horde, offering that warm, comforting, bludgeoning heaviness that will put you to sleep, perhaps permanently.

Forged  in 2001 in the burning fires of Karlovy Vary, a town in the west Bohemia region of the Czech Republic (or Czechia, if you prefer), a Brutal Death Metal beast that goes by the name of Cutterred Flesh is ready to spread violence, gore and insanity all over the world thanks to their newborn spawn, entitled Sharing Is Caring, the follow-up to their 2018 album Code: Violence. Recorded at Kohlekeller Studio under the supervision of Kristian Kohle Kohlmannslehner, and displaying a demonic artwork by Pär Olofsson (Aborted, Immolation), the album is loaded with all the Death Metal riffs you need, all the diversity to not only set the songs apart but to also keep things interesting, and that warm, comforting, bludgeoning heaviness that will put you to sleep, perhaps permanently, showcasing all the talent and aggressiveness of Jiri Krs on vocals, Vitali Novak and David Krombholz on the guitars, Zdenek Hnizdil on bass and Frantisek Drazdansky on drums, being therefore highly recommended for fans of Suffocation, Devourment, Aborted, Cattle Decapitation and Benighted, among several others.

Frantisek begins his sonic attack behind his drums in Vibrio Vulnificus, an obscure and primeval Death Metal aria by Cutterred Flesh where Jiri takes the lead with his inhumane growling, going straight to your jugular while showcasing a lot of intricacy at the same time; and Black Aurora brings forward another round of sheer violence and darkness by the quintet, with both Vitali and David breathing fire through their guitars, not to mention the stone crushing sound blasted by Frantisek for our total delight. Then in Where Only Old Flesh Stinks a more melancholic vibe is carefully added to their core devastation, setting the stage for Jiri to bark like a creature of the underworld while Zdenek delivers some vicious and complex lines from his bass, followed by Good Boy – Romantic Relationship with Necrotic Tissue, featuring guest vocals by American singer and guitarist Von Young of Lividity, a vicious Death Metal onrush that sounds as infernal and demolishing as it can be.

Cutterred Flesh Sharing Is Caring CD Box Set

The Mystery of the Black Hen offers our putrid ears three minutes of pure, unfiltered Death Metal where the band’s guitar duo not only cuts our skin deep with their sharp riffage, but they also fire beautiful solos, whereas in Amused by the Tenacity of a Dying Whore the band adds elements from Deathslam and even Deathcore to their massive sonority, resulting in one of the most disturbing and heaviest of all songs, and with Frantisek sounding like he’s possessed on drums. Fans of Suffocation and Aborted will have a blast with Knife Is Not the Enemy, a brutal and infernal European death feast where Jiri showcases his deepest guttural roars from start to finish, and there’s no time to breathe thanks to the imposing My Favourite Bodybag, another stunning depiction of the band’s brutality and talent with Zdenek and Frantisek generating a thunderous wall of Death Metal with their demonic kitchen. And how about a body slammin’ extravaganza as a bonus track? That’s what you’ll get in Progressive Body Adjustment, with Jiri’s screams being supported by the inhumane beats by Frantisek until the very last second.

If you’re a fan of the brutality of classic Death Metal with a melodic and intricate twist, I’m sure you’ll have a blast with Sharing is Caring, available for purchase from the band’s own BandCamp page, from the Transcending Obscurity Records’ webstore as an ass-kicking wooden LP box set with engraving containing a gatefold LP with metallic effect and UV lamination, an autographed card, an A3 size poster, a shaped logo patch, a bottle opener badge and a metallic sticker (and you can get it HERE or HERE), from Apple Music or from Amazon. Also, don’t forget to give the guys from Cutterred Flesh a shout on Facebook and on Instagram, sharing your love for Brutal Death Metal with the band and other metalheads from all over the world because, as the name of the album already says, sharing is caring.

Album Review – Anthropophagus Depravity / Apocalypto (2021)

Prepare for a new age of wicked superstition and the rebirth of old and hungry gods to the sound of the debut album by this Indonesian Death Metal tribe.

3.5rating

anthropophagus-depravity-apocalypto-2021Indonesia is a festering sore of Brutal Death Metal, infected with an array of bands that explore the outer limits of savagery and sickness just like Yogyakarta-based horde Anthropophagus Depravity. Writhing like maggots in a wound, these pioneers of putridity eat their way deeper and deeper into the darkness, entwining shuddering heaviness with chilling atmosphere and nightmarish brutality. Their debut full length album, entitled Apocalypto, is a torrent of overwhelming, suffocating horror that feeds upon the vicious rituals of the ancient Mayan religion, with its furious riffs and relentless blasts seeming to force themselves down your throat, choking you with a pitiless intensity. Armed with furious riffs, relentless blasts and nerve-shredding atmosphere, the band comprised of Pandu Herlambang on vocals, Eko Aryo Widodo and Rico Zerico on the guitars, Cahyono Hari Wijayanto on bass and Sahrul Ramadhan on drums is ready to kill with their shuddering heaviness, turning their new opus into a must-have for admirers of the music by Devangelic, Relics of Humanity, Disentomb and Analepsy.

The intro Hymn to Apocalypto kicks off with the vile riffage by Eko and Rico while Sahrul already showcases his rage behind his drums, with its tribalistic second half setting the tone for the Deathslam hymn Forecasting Ruination, with Pandu roaring like a demented beast from the underworld and, therefore, sounding perfect for slamming into the pit to the fulminating beats by Sahrul and the classic Death Metal riffs by the band’s guitar duo. Then a quick cinematic start explodes into sheer brutality in the visceral The Mayan Disaster, continuing their path of devastation, blood and fear, while Eko and Rico’s guitars are nicely supported by Cahyono’s infernal bass punches; and a gruesome gnarl by Pandu ignites another feast of dementia entitled Temple of Sacrifice, with Sahrul showing no mercy for his drums (and consequently for our necks) in a great display of contemporary Brutal Death Metal.

If you think those Indonesian metallers are tired of slamming our heads with their brutal music you’re absolutely wrong, as they offer us the straightforward, in-your-face tune Immolation for the Sacred God, showcasing their usual violence in the form of guttural growls, slashing riffs and pulverizing drums; whereas Pandu sounds even more furious than before in Escape from the Dead Lands, accompanied by the hellish kitchen crafted by Sahrul and Cahyrono. Their second to last Apocalyptic Death Metal extravaganza comes in the form of Ruthless Nation Perished, with Pandu roaring and gurgling rabidly from start to finish, or in other words, it’s another fantastic option for crushing your spinal cord into the circle pit, not to mention its disturbing ending, I might say, flowing into Mantra Solar Eclipse, a six-minute ritualistic, demolishing Death Metal creation by Anthropophagus Depravity that will haunt your souls for all eternity, with Pandu taking the lead once again with his wicked roaring, all spiced up by a sick guitar solo to properly end the album.

anthropophagus-depravity-2021The vile and infernal Death Metal blasted by Anthropophagus Depravity in Apocalypto can be appreciated in full on YouTube and on Spotify, but of course in order to take part in their demonic rituals you should definitely purchase the album from Comatose Music’s BandCamp page or webstore, as well as from Amazon and other retailers like Barnes & Noble. In addition, don’t forget to follow this talented Indonesian tribe on Facebook and on Instagram, and to subscribe to their YouTube channel for more of their pulverizing creations. Having said all that, prepare for a new age of wicked superstition and the rebirth of old and hungry gods, and of course for slamming into the circle pit like a rabid beast, to the sound of Apocalypto.

Best moments of the album: Forecasting Ruination and Ruthless Nation Perished.
